History

After Aher was born, Edite became jealous of their talents and pressed them to succeed and more and more difficult tasks, particularly after the creation of Caulla and Ramos. Their relationship soured further after Rhulbhus's seduction of both Sodnos and Inteus, and Edite realized Aher was slipping out of her control and into independence.
Working with the other Elemental Godx (Ramos, Dydall, Caulla), Edite wanted to seal Aher away "someplace safe" where they couldn't make trouble. Aher found out, and thwarted the attempt, accidentally creating the Divine Plane in the process.
Angered, Edite started the Divine War when she killed Caulla in a rage. Upset, angry, scared, and confused, Aher fought back, and their war divided the pantheon and eventually resulted in all of their deaths with the exception of Sodnos, Quteus, Aher, and Edite.
Sodnos created the blade that Quteus used to strike Aher down, testing it on Sodnos, killing her. After Aher was weakened after killing Edite and sealing away the elemental planes, Quteus struck Aher with Sodnos's Blade, creating a magical explosion that not only killed Quteus, but scattered Aher's existence all over Niria.
Aher has spent the past 3,000 years gathering their fragmented self, and only needs a few more pieces before they're whole again, manipulating events behind the scenes.
